Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of butterfly valves, and in particular relates to a compensating sealing device in a butterfly valve. Background Art
[0002] The butterfly valve is a commonly used fluid control device, mainly used to regulate and block the flow of fluid. It is characterized by a simple structure, small fluid resistance and good sealing performance. In use, the butterfly valve may involve frequent switching control of its on and off depending on the use scenario, which requires the valve stem to be rotated frequently. The rotation of the valve stem will increase the wear of the sealing ring installed in conjunction with it, which will cause the sealing performance of the butterfly valve to decrease rapidly. Most common butterfly valves are not equipped with corresponding compensating sealing structures. This may cause the butterfly valve to leak slowly due to the wear of the sealing ring during use, affecting the transportation and use of the liquid. Some liquids will cause the butterfly valve to be dirty and cannot be used for subsequent disassembly and assembly. In addition, especially when dealing with harmful, flammable or high-temperature media, leakage not only endangers personnel safety, but may also cause fires, explosions and other accidents. If the leaked medium is chemical substances or sewage, it may pollute the surrounding environment and violate environmental protection regulations.
[0003] In summary, the butterfly valve has insufficient sealing performance and there are some problems in use, so it is hoped to propose a new structure to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
